A Wake Up Call - By Prof Swapna Pradhan, WelingkarUday Salunkhe
Traditional brick-and-mortar stores should revisit their business models keeping the customer at the core, in order to stay relevant. This year, my pre-Diwali shopping turned out to be a pleasant experience— considering that I did not have to wait in a long queue at the billing counter. I was in and out of a popular national department store in an upmarket Mumbai suburb in less than 45 minutes.

As our 2016 Retail Future Trends Report revealed, 2016 was once again a year of innovation amid a
competitive time for retailers that are online, offline and moving into the omnichannel realm. Mobile,
as well as data analytics and Internet of Things (IoT), hit home with retailers striving to drive a better
customer experience.
Consumers still are focused on a retailer’s website for product research; however, as this Top 100
report illustrates, they’re also increasingly using smartphones and other mobile devices.
The trends data revealed 35 percent of consumers believe it is very important for a retailer to have
both a brick-and-mortar and online presence. That consumer expectation may be a big reason
Amazon, which again took home the top honor in this Top 100 survey, is moving into the brick-andmortar
realm after over two decades of pure e-commerce strategy.
How different is the use of digital

in developing countries compared with
more mature markets?
Is there a clear segmentation of

tech-shy or older people)?
When are retailers and manufacturers

QR Codes: Transforming Consumer-Brand InteractionsCustomer Centria
Reaching a consumer has never been easier for companies – they have tried placing a huge hoarding in the sky, spend crores on a TVC, and invested considerable time, energy and money to take its brand to the remotest corners of the world. And then the wave of social media revolutionised consumer-brand interaction. And today we are not even talking, we just scan and click...Quick Response (QR) code is the word! The marketing circles have started embracing this technology with lot of zest and enthusiasm. Some experts still wait for every chance to write it off as a passing fad, even as the technology is being picked up rapidly by companies globally to send a message to the consumer. The crucial question – are QR codes an emerging trend to stay alive for some decades, or will they be gone by this time next year? If the recent developments, innovations and results QR Codes have shown are anything to go by, be rest assured well be scanning at least 10 times more QR codes by this time next year.

The Ultimate QR Success Guide for Marketing AgenciesQRCodeChimp
This guide explains the applications and benefits of QR codes for marketing agencies, and how you can use them to produce better results for your clients.
With the proliferation of smartphones over recent years and the consequent retailer worries regarding showrooming, QR Codes perhaps haven’t been embraced as widely as they should. It’s our belief that they have significant usefulness in a retail setting and can be used as part of a wider technology stack to create really effective methods of engaging your in-store customers with online content that supports rather than detracts from their journey in your environment.
Connecting People Print and Mobile: an Intro to QR CodesMike Craig
Presentation on QR Codes to the Midwest Direct Marketing Association's 2011 Direct Marketing Conference.
This presentation provided an overview of QR and other 2-D barcodes, their relationship with mobile marketing best practices, and examples of QR code use in printed material.
After COVID-19, digital trend has accelerated and due to this QR-code usage has increased. This attracted me to analyze, evaluate and give my point of view on how this has affected consumer behavior.
According to Google's research about the NextBillionUsers, every day one million new users come online for the first time in their lives, primarily through mobile phones.
Assistive technology, or what you'd typically have seen as "Accessibility" settings, at present, focuses on making technology more accessible for the differently abled. While a great place to start, the need gap is wider.
These new users want to do a lot but they have to battle multiple fears. The fear of posting something wrong unknowingly, of making a transaction by mistake, of losing face amidst their peers, just to name a few. Here are some ideas on how different stakeholders can help make digital adoption journeys smoother!

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

QR Codes for Marketing in India
1.
2. • 2 Dimensional Bar Codes.
• Invented in 1994 by Denso Wave.
• Hyperlinks in the form of an image.
3. • No costs attached
• Takes consumer experience from the physical to the virtual
world.

st
QR
Code
Action
4. • Trackable and measurable.
• Gathers Demographics.
• The ideal mode of consumer communication
• Less intrusive
• More engaging
• Cut costs on Air Time.
5. • 2 prerequisites for a successful use –
• Internet connection
• QR code scanning app.
• Not available in India (especially on mobiles), to a vast
population.
• Another major problem is the incentive given to the user for
scanning a code.
• Factors affecting Usage –
• High or low technology self‐efficacy
• Perceived ease of use and complexity
6. •The rich have greater access to internet on their smart
phones, and they keep up with the latest technology.
• The size of this niche population in India is still very
small and geographically concentrated.
•Inefficient practices in terms of how QR codes are
actually used.
• Companies launch QR codes which lead to
desktop sites, thus giving the consumer an option
to scan a QR code which leads them to a website
that is not optimized for the device they use to
scan (Smart Phone).
7. •Lack of standard scanning apparatus may cause problems in
the highly conservative Indian market.
• There may be some apps that offer a good scanning
experience while others may be less than satisfactory,
thus affecting consumer perceptions.
•Moreover, barring a few brands of smart phones, no other
ones come with standard scanning apps pre-loaded, hence
causing the need for an effort on the part of the consumer
which definitely acts as a spoiler.
8. American cereal producer, Post’s Food, created a web based
sitcom for their product Honey Bunches of Oats where QR
codes were the primary distribution vehicle.
Research had indicated that a third of their target audience
would be interested in accessing the QR codes and these
codes were therefore printed on 12 million boxes (Zmuda 8).
9. However, when the sitcom episodes of Honey and Joy were
released at the end of April 2011, they only attracted at most
358 views, with the most recent episode only being viewed 35
times.
It is arguable that this might have been attributable to the
content, as a sitcom based in a cereal factory might not be
appealing to the consumers of their product.
It does clearly display, however, that using QR codes does not
guarantee a successful campaign, and that the content
included is still the motivation for access, not the technology
used.
10. Japan is the most tech-savvy country in the world.
It is the place where QR codes originated and have been
successful.
They must create something of value for the consumers, or at
least the consumers perceive a value.
The use of QR codes has been quite innovative; they have
been used in various products for a variety of reasons.
For instance - The way to become a member of a beauty shop is to
scan a QR code.
11. With regard to the types of incentives, many people feel that QR
code is a convenient way to access the information at anyplace at
any time.
Apparently, the ubiquitous nature of QR codes is a benefit.
Hence, quality is another factor in the appeal of QR codes.
Many services ranging from fast food restaurants to newspapers
also use QR codes for site registration.
Consumers tended to seek –
Free trials
Product samples
Bonus membership points
Something which would bring an increase in the perceived value
of products or services.
12. •Coffee offering a give-away, which when opened revealed a
QR code inside, which turned out to be a mobile game in
which you can gain points and apply for a specific gift with the
points.
•A QR code in front of a restaurant — may even give a
discount.
•Asahi.com, a Japanese newspaper, offers a QR discount code
for museums entry fee.
•Cosmetic brand Orbis having a QR code which offered 300
yen discount to encourage sales via mobile.
13. •There is a booklet that lists a bunch of QR codes in
Family Mart (Japan’s third largest convenience store
chain).
Using their online shops may mean saving money.
•QR-code are used to capture patients’ identification
and prescription information from the hospitals to
transfer all data to the pharmacy computer system.
This is an inexpensive way to digitalize the
prescription contents.
14. •QR codes are used to see approaching buses, their location,
and estimated arrival time at the stop.
•Some imported wines and beers which usually are not well
known in Japan have a QR code printed on the label.
Accessing it gives information about the region and grape
producers, brewers etc.
Unless one can access that kind of information, one never
knows what kind of liquor is being consumed.
•Nestlé’s chocolate has a QR code which explains the calorific

16. The LEGO Campaign
The biggest example of QR code success in Europe can
be seen with a LEGO campaign by a German toy store
MyToys.de.
3D codes were created out of LEGO. These codes were made to
look like pictures, encouraging customers to take a photograph
of them with their mobile phone, which would then provide a
link to the online shop where they could purchase some LEGO
bricks.
17. During this 2009 campaign, 49% of visitors to the site
came from the QR codes, with the sales of boxes of LEGO
doubling.
A marketing technique which doubles sales for a period
of time is surely packing a punch, albeit with correct
implementation.
Requisite technology is widespread in the affluent
continent of Europe, and such a campaign would
probably not have many participants in India

The Japanese have shown remarkable innovation in their
marketing strategy by using QR codes in such a variety of
